Lebanon, Tennessee — Authorities are searching for a Wilson County man allegedly violating probation in a felony theft case.
According to the Wilson County Sheriff’s Office, Joseph Donald King, 42, is currently wanted on a warrant for violation of probation connected to a theft of property case valued between $10,000 and $60,000.
The sheriff’s office shared the alert Friday as part of its recurring “Felony Friday” posts highlighting individuals wanted by law enforcement. King’s date of birth is listed as December 28, 1982.
Officials said the warrant stems from a previous case in which King allegedly failed to comply with probation conditions tied to the felony theft charge. Under Tennessee law, theft involving property valued between $10,000 and $60,000 is considered a Class C felony.
Investigators are asking residents to contact authorities if they have information that could help locate him.
According to the sheriff’s office, tips can be reported directly to the Wilson County Sheriff’s Office Warrants Division at 615-444-1412, extension 3. Callers may remain anonymous when providing information.
Law enforcement agencies frequently release wanted notices through social media to increase public awareness and encourage community assistance in locating individuals with outstanding warrants.
Alerts like these often circulate quickly across local social media groups, meaning students, commuters, and workers across Wilson County may encounter the notice while traveling or checking updates online.
Authorities emphasize that King should be considered wanted but not convicted, and the allegations against him have not yet been proven in court.
Anyone with information about his whereabouts is urged to contact the sheriff’s office.
